SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 446,879, dated February24, 1891.

Application filed september 20, 1890. Serial No. 865,615. (No model.)

T0 at whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, ALFORD LEWIS MON- TAGUE and HIRAM SULvEsTER BAILEY,citizens of the United States, residing at Oanandaigua, in the county ofOntario and State of New York, have invented certain new andusetulImprovements in Feed-Cooking Stoves; and we do hereby declare thefoliowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

This invention consists in certain improvements in that class of stoveswhich are for cooking feed, and are constructed to be set in casks orreceptacles which are to contain the material to be cooked.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a central verticalsection showing the improved feed-cooker set in a cask. Fig. 2 is asimilar section of the stove, taken on line 00 a: of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is aplan view of the stove.

A designates the main casing provided with a flange a at the top, saidcasing being cylindrical in form and adapted to be set in a cask orother suitable receiver having a correvsponding opening in the top, asshown.

13 indicates an inner removable casing, to the opposite sides of whichare fixed two airlines 0, which extend down from the top and connectwith the interior of said casing B at their lower extremities.

D indicates the grate, which is pivoted at a within the casing B inposition near the bottom and just above the connections 0 of theair-flues O. A rod 1), having a handle e at its upper end, extends downthrough one of the fines 0, being loosely secured therein, the said rodturning inward under the grate D, with which it is connected, so thatthe grate may be shaken by moving the handle 6. Two openings 71- and 71,are made in the casing B at opposite points near the top, and areprovided with dampers f, the said openings forming passages for theheated air from the firechamber to the spaces between the casing B andthe casing A.

E indicates a fuel-feeder, removably placed in the top of the stove andprovided with a cover g.

F indicates the ash-box, which also forms the bottom of the casing B,being hinged thereto at 2' and detachably secured at m, so that thecasing B being lifted out, the ash-box 5 5 may be loosened and the ashesdumped therefrom.

The fire being started on the grate D, the damper at the opening it isopened and that at h closed, and after the fire burns well the damper atthe opposite opening 71/ is opened and the one at h closed, so that theheated air from the combustion-chamber may pass through the opening 72.down about the casing B, as indicated by arrows in Fig. 2, to thesmoke-pipe I, which extends from the hot-air space between the casings Aand 13. Exterior air is drawn down through the opposite lines 0 andpasses under the grate, and is thus mingled with the carbon, so that theheat is greatest at the base, where most required.

Fastening devices mare provided for securing the casing A to a cask, andsaid casing may be readily released and lifted out with its entirecontents. The inner chamber B may 7 5 also be withdrawn and with it thefines C, the grate, feeder, and ash-box.

We claim- 1. In feed-cooking stoves, the inner removable casing Band thetwo top open air-flues O 0, connected therewith at the bottom by theopenings 0 c, in combination with the grate D, arranged above saidopenings 0, as and for the purpose described.

2. In feed-cookin g stoves, the outer case A, having the smoke-pipe I,in combination with the removable inner case B above the bottom of caseA and provided with opposite holes h h above the lire-pot, for thepurpose set forth.

In testimony whereof we have affixed our signatures in presence of twowitnesses.
